⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

Armadillidium germanicum is a classic European pillbug species with a neat, compact body and a subtle grey-to-brown colouration. While not as brightly patterned as some of the more ornamental morphs, this species is valued for its hardiness and reliability in captivity.

They thrive in enclosures with a good moisture gradient, solid ventilation, and access to leaf litter and decaying wood for food and shelter. Like many Armadillidium , they can roll into a tight ball when threatened, a behaviour that is always fascinating to observe.

With their ease of care and steady reproduction, Armadillidium germanicum is a great addition for both beginner keepers exploring native-style species and experienced hobbyists who enjoy maintaining a wide variety of European isopods.
